The problem with the Thursday night.

[BlackHole2006]

See!!!!!!! Now you are gettin me more and more excited about this year ! Im uncontrolable...............

[alframsey]

Were both on the same boat there mate, I can't stop thinking about the place and everytime I think about it I get butterflies, I look at the glasto photos I took last year everynight before I go to bed and I just get sooo exited. If i'm this bad now then on the tuesday before I'm going to be off the walls with exitement.

Cheers,

Thursdays for exploring, getting bearings fine-tuned, and the official efest meet.

Point taken that 100,000 may find The Queen's Head a bit packed if they all go there, but there was plenty of space and entertainment and chat elsewhere.

Ended up watching 3 Daft Monkeys in the Avalon Cafe gone midnight, unannounced performance I think.

those time machines are a modern day marvel

Its a london based club night. Plays. Well baggy stuff really. Mondays. Flowered up northside. Amongst others

[Joshuwarr]

I am so bloody excited. And for this year I'll actually be arriving on the wednesday which I have never done at a festival before :-)

Glastonbury takes up at least 50% of all my thoughts.

I find the problems with free nights at Festivals is that you just sit on the campsite and make a huge dent in your massive pile of drink, setting you up with a terrible hangover on the 1st day of music.

Clearly the best way to get rid of this is to get back on the drink. . . giving you a 2 or 3 day hangover the next day when you are not even half way through the event. . . certainly that's what T in the Park is like, I'm sure Glasto will be no different.

Cut Copy in the Dance Lounge on the Thursday night of last year was definetly one of my highlights of the festival!

Managed to make our fairly extensive supply of booze last the whole weekend last year. Can't recall spending an awful lot of time wednesday and thursday just sat around the tent

World of difference, there is lots of things to see, find and explore.. very different from T

Thursday is a joyous day and usually includes the meet. I have no problem in getting blarted and having a hangover but getting up anyway! There's usually not much on early anyway! All hail breakfast beers at camp!

Thursday last year...returned to the Cider Bus to look for anyone left behind in the pouring rain (as if!)...found Storm in the storm and we headed over to Trash City eventually. Twas ace! Dancing like a loon in the pissing rain to some classic techno. I highly recommend it! But next time will remember to put on my gaters. My walkingboots never dried up for the rest of the weekend

In Ye Dayes of Yore and Ye Olde Sounde Systemmes (2004 and before) there was plenty...PLENTY of dancing and partying to be had all over site Wed and Thurs! Energy 24 was one of the best spots on site 02 and 03 to groove away to, not to mention Radio 1 Sound System and Joe Banana's before Energy 24 muscled in on their patch! And years before you had the likes of Whirlygig nestled away on site. NO need for the programme telling you where to find the party, ya just got off your arse, bimbled away and stumbled onto the secret parties! Ahhh those were the days.

[Boris]

Be good to see you there again

[scappaflow]

You're kidding me aren't you?! If you are sitting at your campsite then I imagine you will be in the minority as most people will be wandering around the lapping up the atmosphere. Theres a full day of music on some stages, brilliant bars to visit and so many things to see and you could easily lose yourself for hours in the greenfields

[Paul ™]

Ah, the joy of fests

Its all about the vibe on wednesdays and thursdays, stone circle, park, green fields in the day, then the night time comes, camp fires a plenty, singing, dancing around some fool in a massive tent with his his mates and a shitty acoustic that he doesn't really know how to play, trying to play Bob Dylan songs badly and Razorlight songs perfectly. I don't know about anyone else but on the wednesday and thursday i always end up meeting up with a cracking group of people that are just out of shouting distance, and always meet up with them over the weekend. Its good times to be had for all.

Also, would you rather be sat at home, getting giddy for the weekend ahead, or be there, even if there is nothing to do other than chill in a camping chair with a crate of your desired tipple next to you? 3 guesses what id do!!

This forum always gets me excited for festivals!!
